Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PROSPERITY BANCSHARES, INC. (PB) has filed an amended report to add historical Stellar Bancorp, Inc. financial statements and unaudited pro forma information reflecting Prosperity’s completed acquisition of Stellar on July 1, 2026. Stellar was merged into Prosperity, and Stellar Bank was merged into Prosperity Bank, with Prosperity entities surviving.

The preliminary total merger consideration is $1.99 billion, consisting of $1.41 billion in stock (about 19.4 million PB shares at an exchange ratio of 0.3803) and $578.7 million in cash. On a pro forma basis, total assets increase to $54.2 billion from Prosperity’s standalone $43.6 billion as of March 31, 2026. The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $733.7 million of goodwill and $159.6 million of core deposit intangibles, both subject to change as valuation work is finalized.

For 2025, pro forma net income is $656.3 million with basic EPS of $5.74, compared with Prosperity’s standalone EPS of $5.72. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, pro forma net income is $146.6 million and basic EPS of $1.23, versus $1.16 standalone. The company discloses that integration and other nonrecurring charges are expected but are not included in the pro forma results.

Positive

  • Strategic scale-up: Pro forma total assets rise to $54.2 billion from $43.6 billion, adding roughly $10.9 billion from Stellar and expanding Prosperity’s balance sheet and franchise.
  • EPS accretion on pro forma basis: 2025 basic EPS is $5.74 pro forma versus $5.72 standalone, and Q1 2026 EPS is $1.23 versus $1.16, indicating earnings contribution from Stellar under the stated assumptions.

Negative

  • Large cash outlay and deal costs: Transaction structure includes $578.7 million in cash plus an estimated $63.0 million of direct merger costs, representing a meaningful use of capital.
  • High goodwill creation: The preliminary purchase price allocation records about $733.7 million of goodwill, which could be subject to future impairment testing if performance or assumptions change.
  • Future integration charges not reflected: The company anticipates nonrecurring systems, severance and other integration costs that are excluded from the pro forma results, so reported pro forma earnings do not capture these future expenses.

Filing Explained

The amendment limits the pro forma figures to illustrative merger analysis; savings are excluded and valuation remains preliminary.

The filing amends the report for the merger completed on July 1, 2026, adding Stellar’s historical statements and pro forma schedules without changing the transaction’s completion state.

The income statements model the merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2025, and the balance sheet as if it occurred on March 31, 2026; the filing says these figures are illustrative, not actual combined historical results or a forecast.

Estimated operating cost savings are excluded from the pro forma adjustments, and the company says there is no assurance they will be achieved in the amount or manner currently contemplated.

The valuation and accounting-policy review remains incomplete. Final fair values and policy conformations could materially change the combined financial information, with fair-value adjustments permitted for up to one year after the merger date.

ASC 805 financial
"acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805"
ASC 805 is the U.S. accounting standard that governs how companies record and report business acquisitions, including how purchased assets, assumed liabilities and goodwill are measured on the buyer’s balance sheet. It matters to investors because the accounting choices under ASC 805 determine the reported value of an acquisition and future profit or loss effects—similar to how different ways of listing items in a household budget change the appearance of your finances and the story they tell.
core deposit intangibles financial
"Estimated core deposit intangible asset amortization at 2.0% of the acquired non-time deposits"
Core deposit intangibles are the recorded value placed on a bank’s customer deposits when one financial institution buys another, reflecting the extra worth of stable, low-cost accounts that are expected to stay after the sale. Investors care because this value is written into the buyer’s books and gradually expensed over time, which affects reported earnings and signals how much the market values the predictability and cost advantage of those customer relationships—similar to paying extra for a neighborhood store because its regular customers keep coming back.
sum of years digits financial
"amortized over 10 years using the sum of years digits amortization method"
Merger consideration financial
"For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the Merger consideration has been allocated"
Merger consideration is the total payment a company or buyer offers to shareholders of a target company in exchange for combining the two businesses, and can include cash, shares in the surviving company, debt assumption, or a mix of these. Investors care because the form and amount affect the deal’s value, tax consequences, immediate cash received versus future ownership, and the risk and upside of holding new shares — similar to choosing between cash now or stock that could grow later.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X in order to give effect to the Merger and related transaction accounting adjustments (pro forma adjustments) described in the accompanying notes.

On July 1, 2026, Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. (“Prosperity”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Stellar Bancorp, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Stellar”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 27, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Prosperity and Stellar.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Stellar merged with and into Prosperity (the “Merger”), with Prosperity continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Stellar Bank, a Texas banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of Stellar, merged with and into Prosperity Bank, a Texas banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of Prosperity (the “Bank Merger”), with Prosperity Bank continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Stellar (“Stellar common stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain shares held by Prosperity or Stellar, was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3803 shares of common stock (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”), par value $1.00 per share, of Prosperity (“Prosperity common stock”), (ii) an amount in cash equal to $11.36 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Prosperity has prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income appearing below to present on a pro forma basis the consolidated statements of income of Prosperity assuming that the merger with Stellar was consummated on January 1, 2025, and to provide information with respect to the pro forma consolidated results of operations that Prosperity would have had for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Prosperity has prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet appearing below to present on a pro forma basis the consolidated financial position of Prosperity assuming that the merger with Stellar was consummated on March 31, 2026.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contain information derived from, and should be read together with:

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;
Prosperity’s separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in Prosperity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025;
Prosperity’s separate unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in Prosperity’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026;
Stellar’s separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in Stellar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and
Stellar’s separate unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in Stellar’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The Merger and the Bank Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of Stellar and Stellar Bank by Prosperity and Prosperity Bank under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Prosperity and the other pro forma combined financial information appearing below have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting.

 

1


 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, present the consolidated results of operations giving pro forma effect to the following as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2025:

the full-year impact of Stellar’s statements of income, including pro forma amortization and accretion of purchase accounting adjustments on securities, loans and intangible assets; and
the issuance of the aggregate Per Share Stock Consideration of 19.4 million shares of Prosperity common stock, and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration of $578.7 million.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 presents the consolidated financial position giving pro forma effect to the following as if they had occurred as of March 31, 2026:

the completion of the Merger, including the issuance of 19.4 million shares of Prosperity common stock and the payment of $578.7 million; and
$63.0 million in estimated direct transaction costs related to the Merger.

The preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related adjustments required Prosperity’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates, which it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Prosperity has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required fair market value estimates of the Stellar’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Stellar assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma adjustments, including the allocations of the purchase price, are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Stellar to conform to the presentation in Prosperity’s financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and other unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Merger taken place on January 1, 2025, for statement of income purposes, and on March 31, 2026, for balance sheet purposes. Historical results for any prior period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period, and historical results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for all of 2026. A final determination of the fair values of Stellar’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Stellar that existed as of the date of completion of the Merger, which are subject to adjustments for up to one year after the Merger date. Consequently, amounts preliminarily allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangibles could change significantly from those allocations used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below and could result in a material change in amortization of acquired intangible assets.

In connection with the plan to integrate the operations of Prosperity and Stellar following the Effective Time, Prosperity anticipates that nonrecurring charges, such as costs associated with systems implementation, severance, and other costs related to exit or disposal activities, could be incurred. Prosperity is not yet able to fully determine the timing, nature and amount of these charges. However, these charges could affect the results of operations of the combined company in the period in which they are recorded. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the effects of the costs associated with any restructuring or integration activities resulting from the transaction or any anticipated disposition of assets that may result from such integration.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025 combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Prosperity and Stellar giving effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Prosperity and Stellar giving effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on March 31, 2026.

Prosperity’s and Stellar’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 3, certain reclassifications were made to align Prosperity’s and Stellar’s financial statement presentation. Prosperity has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Stellar’s accounting policies to Prosperity’s accounting policies. Prosperity is in the process of performing a more detailed review of Stellar’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined company’s financial information.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, with Prosperity considered the acquirer of Stellar. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the Merger consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Stellar based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as of March 31, 2026. Prosperity has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the Stellar’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Stellar assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values. Any differences between the fair value of the Merger consideration and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of Stellar’s fair value. Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and the differences may be material.

All dollar amounts presented within these Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are in thousands, except per share data. Share amounts are in thousands.

Note 2. Estimated Operational Cost Savings

Prosperity anticipates operational cost savings in connection with the acquisition of Stellar. Prosperity anticipates that these savings will occur through the combination of back office operations and elimination of duplicate general operations, administrative and salary and benefits expense. Estimated cost savings are not presented as part of the pro forma adjustments and there can be no assurance they will be achieved in the amount or manner currently contemplated.

Note 3. Reclassification Adjustments

During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Prosperity performed a preliminary analysis of Stellar’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies and differences in balance sheet and income statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Stellar. At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Prosperity had not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Stellar’s accounting policies to Prosperity’s accounting policies and had also not identified all reclassification adjustments necessary to conform Stellar’s financial statement presentation with that of Prosperity’s. The reclassification adjustments represent Prosperity’s best estimates based upon the

information currently available to Prosperity and could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information once more detailed information is available.

 

Note 4. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in the Merger (in thousands, except per share data):

 

Prosperity shares issued in exchange for outstanding Stellar common stock (50,939 shares as of June 30, 2026) (1)

$

Total pro forma purchase price

 

$

1,993,398

 

 

(1)
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of Stellar common stock, options and restricted stock awards received 0.3803 shares of Prosperity common stock and $11.36 cash for each share of Stellar common stock (or its equivalent), subject to certain conditions.
(2)
Based upon Prosperity closing price of $73.03 on June 30, 2026.

 

The preliminary estimated Merger consideration as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Stellar based on their preliminary estimated fair values. As described above in Note 1, Prosperity has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the Stellar assets to be acquired or liabilities assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and available for sale securities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values. The fair value assessments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions, which Prosperity believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
